Attractions in South Africa

With its abundant natural wonders and friendly culture, South Africa is growing in popularity. The country has a remarkably diverse population, and the different ethnic groups celebrate their heritage each year with colourful festivals. Some of the most popular sites in the country are clustered on the south-western coast around Cape Town. There, you can ride a bike around the Cape of Good Hope, ride a cable car up Table Mountain for panoramic views or lower yourself into a cage in the ocean and watch sharks swim in the open water.
